A 23-year-old woman committed suicide by burning herself after her husband refused to give money for daily expenses in West Delhi's Kamruddin Nagar.
The deceased, Aarti, had been married to Deen Dayal for last 17 months, police said.
They had a tiff after Deen Dayal refused to give her money for buying some household items.
Dayal told Aarti that since he is a labourer, he doesn't have money to fulfill her demands, police said.
In a fit of rage, she set herself on fire. She was rushed to hospital but was declared brought dead.
Police said there has been no foul play detected in the woman's death.
"As of now there is no foul play that has come to the fore. Aarti's parents have been informed and when they arrive from UP, we will talk to them," said DCP(West) Pushpendra Kumar.
